Ruling on Redistricting Leaves Lawton Still Unanswered
District Judge Marmaduke denied a mandamus petition by Lawton taxpayer Owen Ard seeking county redistricting to equalize representation. The ruling cites a 1929 Wallis v Okmulgee County case and notes boundaries set in 1910 may prevent equal three district representation. Attorneys have 10 days to seek a new trial, then possible appeals to the Oklahoma Supreme Court and federal courts.
